Loss Of Dignity

about your dog jumping on top of you whitebird, but yeah I'm glad that you aren't hurt, slipping on ice is bad enough!

After having been gone from home all day Christmas, we returned home. I let our dog Nikki outside and she started barking. We do not like our dogs to bark, so all dressed up from Christmas, I went out on the patio to scold her. She wouldn't stop, so I walked up the stairs leading to our back yard. Just as I reached the top step, I slipped on a patch of ice. Flying backward, I landed three feet down onto the concrete patio. As I lay there, I could see the stars, and I thought how pretty they were, anything to take my mind off the pain. Suddenly darkness overcame me. I didn't pass out from the fall, if that's what you were thinking. Nikki the black lab. was on top of me!! Springs seemed to be attached to her feet, as she jumped up and down on "Mom". Kisses, raining down, as she tried in her own doggie way to get me up. I couldn't get up, she weighs 75 lbs. all dignity gone, I crawled out from under the onslaught. As I limped into the house, hair wild, dog slobber on my face, and snowflakes sparkling on my clothes, my husband said "What happened to you?".

You know, I try hard to be dignified, but sometimes the world just takes me down, jumps on top of me, and spits in my face.

I'm so glad that you are alright Whitebird

[GoodGodGirl23]

me too

[Creed_Defaultgirl]

Yeah, my dog has this thing about running very fast toward my legs (note: My dog is a Great Pyraneese, so he weighs ATLEAST 100 lbs) and good thing that most of the time he misses me, or I have to dodge out of his way! I guess it's just a game of his or something!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? He is quite strange!

Glad you're alright whitebird!

You know, we don't sound like a very graceful bunch of people, but funny as heck.

Teri, I can almost see you and Dogstar covered in mud.

Creed Defaultgirl, your great pyraneese sounds like a real clown. Yes, your dog is much bigger than Nikki. Do you wear doggie slobber too?

I'm just greatful that I have a parakeet as a pet. At least my bird doesn't jump and slober all over me. You're right Whitebird, none of us our graceful, especially me. I went out with my friends last Friday and every store we went to, I kept running into things. Of course my friends were getting a kick out of it.

I'm glad my brother got a small dog

[whitebird]

Julie, do you have any funny ferret stories? My son has always wanted one, but with the combination of pets that we have had over the years, I figured someone would eat someone else.

Dog would eat cat, cat would eat ferret, ferret would eat bird. Or maybe the bird would have ruled all. She was so funny!

Sometimes when I am in a store, I can still almost hear my Mother say, "Don't touch anything". I look down and my hands are tucked into my pockets.

I was a sweet, funny, cute kid, but really, really clumsy. I just never outgrew it.

It's amazing how a mother's words can have such an impact. I've been clumsy ever since I was born and I know I won't ever outgrow it either. As long as I stay away from really high heels and things that I have to climb over, I'll be fine.
